Gunfire erupted on the Langston campus about 1 a.m. Sunday behind Jones Hall at a campus party. One person suffered a graze wound to the head, one had a gunshot wound in the back and another person suffered a gunshot wound to the thigh, authorities said Sunday.

The names of the victims have not been released, Ashley Gibson, Langston University spokeswoman said today.

	Report Comment im4osu, Broken Arrow (8/17/2009 11:42:16 AM) That must have been some party, hope all involved are ok, and all guilty hung.
	Report Comment Daniel Day Simpson, Edmond (8/17/2009 12:17:09 PM) Sling blade!
	Report Comment happy8003104b, Tulsa (8/17/2009 12:18:23 PM) Has this made national news? It should have.
	Report Comment Better Than, Tulsa (8/17/2009 12:22:10 PM) The worst part is the suspects weren't students, just hanging around to start trouble. If you're going to hang around...wouldn't it make sense to enroll in a class or two?
	Report Comment Ric, Broken Arrow (8/17/2009 12:26:57 PM) Here's another death penalty law that needs to be created. School shootings...
	Report Comment my view, Sand Springs (8/17/2009 12:37:12 PM) Well there not much to do in Langston other than the University there a small grocery store, that's about it. I just bet there was a whole lot of booze involved.
	Report Comment Carlos, Tulsa (8/17/2009 12:40:39 PM) Myview, Is one entire aisle in that small grocery store nothing but Phillie Blunt cigars? ;-)
	Report Comment whatever12345, tulsa (8/17/2009 12:42:26 PM) I think there was a shooting last year at Langston. Do you think there will be one next so we can go three years in a row? Also, why is non student allowed to attend a back to school function? For a very small college they have a lot of problems with guns.
	Report Comment jimjam, (8/17/2009 1:03:58 PM) Pray for the safety of all the students there. Because a shooting anywhere at any college is nothing to be joking about! The victims are someone's children.
	Report Comment Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/17/2009 2:37:01 PM) Langston has a lot of drug & gang activity to begin with. I was offered a scholorship there because I was white & a minority. I would have to be crazy to have accepted it. There are so many drug dealers living in the dorms. Drug dealers that aren't students at all. Like this guy Lamar sold crack out of the dorm that his girlfriend stayed in. I'm sure this can happen at any school, but it seems to happen more often at this school.
	Report Comment im4osu, Broken Arrow (8/17/2009 7:43:24 PM) Raven, I heard all the crack was in Norman.
	Report Comment Raven is my name, Guthrie (8/18/2009 1:28:17 PM) im4osu, you've obvoiusly never been to Langston then have you? LOL If you're white, I wouldn't suggest going there anyway.
